The bill amends the Second Amendment Protection Act in Wyoming by introducing new provisions that create civil penalties and exceptions to existing laws. It establishes that governmental entities can be held liable for damages resulting from violations of specific statutes related to the enforcement of federal regulations concerning firearms, accessories, and ammunition. The bill also clarifies definitions and modifies existing immunity provisions for governmental entities, ensuring that immunity does not apply in cases where public officers or peace officers violate the act while acting under federal or state law.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific actions that would incur civil penalties of $50,000 for agencies that employ public officers or peace officers who enforce or assist in the enforcement of federal laws regarding firearms. It provides exceptions for certain types of assistance to federal authorities and defines "law abiding citizen" and "material aid" in the context of the act. The effective date for the implementation of this act is set for July 1, 2025.
